Summer Vacations with an Edge: Kenyan Revival

Where: Kenya
May 14, 2008 at 3:15 PM | by | Comment (1)

We're all about supporting the underdog. In tourism terms these days, that'd be Kenya. But last week European travel agencies publicly endorsed the recently troubled country as a recommended and safe summer safari destination. Sweet!

This summer we're backing an awesome Kenyan adventure from UK-based Exodus Holidays called the Classic Kenya Safari and Kili Climb. A word to the weary: It's not your grandmother's safari.

The 14-day excursion takes you from Nairobi to stunning Lake Nakuru National Park, then on to the Masai Mara Reserve where big time animal migrations start in July. After sleeping in a bush camp and comparing battle stories with local Masai warriors, it's off to Tanzania where it's man versus mountain. You'll spend the next six days climbing Kilimanjaro's Rongai Route until reaching the summit where you'll do that tribal victory dance your Masai friends taught you.

The safari departs from Nairobi on Aug 10 and costs £1,399 ($2,717), not including flight.

memories!

seeing this picture of the top of kili makes me miss Tanzania! I didn't go on the Exodus Holiday but I did go on a most amazing safari. We were in the middle of hundreds of thousands of migratingwildebeasts and zebra, saw lions mating within arm's length, and were up close and personal with more giraffes and elephants and hyena than you could imagine.

I hope Exodus Holiday goes to the Serengeti... it's beautiful there.
